Texas Sculpts V call for artists
Texas Sculpts V is the ArtCentre of Plano’s annual juried sculpture exhibition, built to showcase work being made across Texas and give sculptors a high-visibility setting where work can be experienced in person all summer.
We’re building an exhibition that’s ambitious and welcoming, with thoughtful curation and strong presentation, so artists feel proud to be included and visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for sculpture in Texas.

In good company: past exhibiting artists
Since 2022, Texas Sculpts brings together an exciting mix of established and emerging sculptors from across the state. As you review the artists who have exhibited in past shows, you may spot familiar names—along with peers you haven’t met yet.
